Relevant Kaggle Competitions for SES Framework

The Global Structure / SES framework is particularly suited for problems involving high degrees of symmetry, group actions, and combinatorial optimization.

1. AI Mathematical Olympiad Progress Prize 3 (AIMO)

• Status: Active (Deadline April 2026)
• Problem Types: Number theory, sequences, tournaments, functional equations.
• Potential SES Application:
  • Tournaments (Problem 424e18): Analysis of scoring and permutations in $2^{20}$ runner rounds.
  • Functional Equations (Problem 9c1c5f): $f(m) + f(n) = f(m + n + mn)$ can be analyzed via the underlying group structure (related to the group law $x \oplus y = x + y + xy$).

2. Santa 2025

• Status: Active (Deadline Jan 2026)
• Problem Types: Large-scale optimization, likely involving Hamiltonian paths/cycles with constraints.
• Potential SES Application: Lifting local Hamiltonian solutions to global ones via the "Closure Lemma" and $H^1$ torsor structure.

3. Google Code Golf 2025

• Status: Active (Deadline Oct 2025)
• Potential SES Application: Finding the shortest (most "symmetric") representation of combinatorial objects.

4. Community: Discover Math God's Algorithm

• Status: Active (Deadline Feb 2026)
• Description: Explicitly mentions "God's Algorithm", usually referring to finding the diameter of a Cayley graph (e.g., Rubik's cube).
• Potential SES Application: The core framework is designed for Cayley graphs.

5. Community: Harbor

• Status: Active (Deadline Feb 2026)
• Problem Type: Discrete optimization.
